DKIM (DomainKeys Identified Mail) is an email authentication method that uses public key encryption to verify that emails are sent from an authorized server and have not been altered in transit. If DKIM is not configured, emails are more likely to be rejected or delivered to the recipient’s Spam/Junk folder.
This article explains how to generate a DKIM record in MailEnable and add it to your domain’s DNS.

2. Open the MailEnable Management Console.
Step 2: Navigate to the Domain
1. In the left-hand pane, expand: MailEnable Management → Messaging Manager → Post Offices
2. Expand the required Post Office.
3. Click on Domains.
Step 3: Open Domain Properties
1. Right-click on the domain for which you want to configure DKIM.
2. Click on Properties.
Step 4: Configure DKIM (DomainKeys)

2. Click on the Configure button.
Step 5: Set DKIM Settings
Configure the DKIM options as follows:

Next, create a new selector:

3. Key size: 2048
